No way to edit the Logbook

Logbook like in real life - Edit logbook

Regarding the topic of logbooks, we unfortunately have more than 150 10 entries in the wishlist that almost all address the same topic (logbook editing). I think it would be better than editing if the entry in the logbook didn’t run automatically. It would be more efficient and correct if we were asked whether the entry should take place in the book or whether we would like to add to the entry. So like in real life. Thus we could also avoid the “zero” entries that are registered during testi…

No aircraft state saving

Allow aircraft to remember weight & balance - fuel, weight and passengers/cargo on next flight

It’s a shame 3rd party devs have to do something that the base sim should already do. Neofly sets my correct fuel. Some aircraft have state saving, and I think Volanta does state saving, but I can’t remember. There’s so many basic things that have been ignored..I was expecting very different types of updates than what we’ve ended up getting. At the rate they’re moving, the sim won’t be finished when we reach the end of their “10 year commitment”.

World Map filter state saving

Save World Map Filters

I would like for the sim to save the most recent filter settings in the World Map.

Pilot weight setting

Customizable default values for Fuel and Payload

What: The start (when starting a flight) values for fuel and payload can be set to a user defined default within the game interface (no manipulating aircraft.cfg). Why: Most planes have weight for pilot and co-pilot set as default as well as 50% fuel load that is decided by the sim. I want to be able to - without entering the aircraft.cfg that isn’t available for certain planes anyway - set a different standard value with which a given plane is loaded into flight. In 99% of all cases I do not a…

No way to set a default spawn type

World map user preference: runway or parking/gate

Hello! I’d like to see a user preference/settings option indicating whether I prefer to have my aircraft setup ready to go on the runway or at a gate/parking spot. For some reason I keep forgetting to switch away from the default runway way too often, and it’s a bit tedious going through the world map and loading the flight again. A customizable default setting would eliminate this mistake. Some logic needs to be added in order to best fit the aircraft with a suitable starting location, eg …

Have the ability to choose aircraft state upon loading

Please can we have the ability to choose between running and cold and dark wherever we load in the sim? Currently the plane starts cold and dark at a parking space, running on the runway, or at a helipad. I believe the user should be able to choose which state they would like to start in so you can start on a helipad cold and dark, start at a parking place with the engine running, or even on the runway cold and dark.
